And we seek to be a place that loves you no matter what, too.
You matter to us, and you matter to God.
Love in action matters.
Authentic relationships matter.

The Whole Story message series

Whole Story Theological Reflection Group

We’ll be starting some new small groups in the coming weeks for conversation and theological reflection (which just means thinking about our faith, how we know what we know) around The Whole Story message series. Why do we believe what we believe?
